Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation
Chapter 1797 - 989: Sparring Session
Friday.
The bell for the end of the second class in the afternoon rang, and Teacher Ouyang left Class Eight, muttering to himself.
"Damn it, after this class, I was full of anger. These students mockingly say every day that I don’t look like my son. Teacher Ouyang was puzzled, how do we look different? We clearly look the same!"
Yet he couldn’t lose his temper, previously he deliberately didn’t come to class, and they had someone else teach.
Teacher Ouyang was helpless.
He walked away, filled with frustration.
Jiang Yanan complained, "Teacher Ouyang knows full well, if he mentions his son who is more than six feet tall and on track to attend a top university, he will definitely be ridiculed. Why does he keep bringing him up?"
Cui Yu ran over and said, "Jiang Yanan, would you like to have dinner with me?"
"Get lost!" Jiang Yanan cursed at him.
Cui Yu ran away laughing.
Shen Qing’e whispered, "Maybe he just likes it."
From the front row, Xue Yuantong asked, "Jiang Ning, are we still selling fried fish tonight?"
Jiang Ning replied, "I’m waiting for Brother Li from the seafood shop to message me back, but he never does; our relationship has grown distant."
The air around Shen Qing’e cooled.
She felt bitter within; wasn’t she the same?
Xue Yuantong asked again, "Alright, why did you change your WeChat nickname?"
Jiang Ning said, "Because it makes me seem righteous."
Xue Yuantong disregarded his moral standing and continued, "Jiang Ning, since we’re free tonight, do you want to go to the snack street? I don’t really feel like going."
Jiang Ning replied, "I don’t want to go."
Xue Yuantong fiddled with his fingers, blinking: "Are you sure you don’t want to go, even just a bit?"
After a bit of pushing and pulling, Jiang Ning finally decided to go to the snack street, and Tongtong stopped asking.
Although school was over, many students who loved learning still hadn’t left the classroom.
For example, Chen Siyu was pleading, "Tongtong, can you make fried fish for me the next time I visit your house?"
Xue Yuantong curved his mouth, casually saying, "It’s no trouble at all."
Bai Yuxia glanced at Chen Siyu and directly asked, "Tongtong, can you tell me how to make fried fish?"
Tongtong: "I’ll send you a voice message explaining it when I get home."
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Siyu watched Bai Yuxia’s method and gave her a foolish look.
Bai Yuxia felt offended and advised, "Si Yu, the more skills you learn, the less you need to ask for help."
Chen Siyu confidently retorted, "I just have to ask a few more people, then I can save time from learning skills."
Bai Yuxia was at a loss for words.
Once Jiang Ning and Tongtong left, Chen Siyu leaned close to Bai Yuxia’s ear, nearly nibbling on her petite pink ear, and whispered, "Do you know why I can always go to the river dam?"
...
Jiang Ning rode his electric scooter, taking Tongtong with him to the street.
When they reached the intersection outside the school gate, Shang Caiwei was walking alone, her hair covering her face, with a small backpack, head down, looking weak and vulnerable.
Tongtong greeted her, "Weiwei, where are you going?"
Shang Caiwei raised her face, her eyes lacking the usual shyness: "I’m going to the street to find my brother."
Tongtong often teamed up with her in games, so they were kind of friends.
She generously invited, "Come, I’ll let my driver take you!"
Shang Caiwei felt embarrassed to get on the scooter, but Tongtong wanted to discuss tactics with her, involving things she loved, so Shang Caiwei got on.
Jiang Ning rode ahead, while Tongtong and Weiwei chatted.
"Actually, Jiang Ning’s gaming skills are very impressive, almost equal to mine!" Xue Yuantong boasted.
"Plus, his gaming range is immense, covering many platforms, and he quite enjoys playing GTA right now."
Shang Caiwei knew about GTA; she even had an English version of San Andreas installed on her phone.
In her impression, Jiang Ning was quite gentle, so she was surprised, "Does he really enjoy such games?"
Xue Yuantong replied, "Really, he’s super skilled!"
While the two girls chatted, at the bend on the side road ahead, a shiny black Mercedes with a glowing badge honked continuously, indicating it wanted to turn, without slowing down.
Jiang Ning swerved a bit to the side and narrowly avoided the vehicle.
The bald guy in the Mercedes saw they were just students, and straightened up, yelling, "Don’t you have ears?"
Jiang Ning kicked out, sending the Mercedes badge flying.
He turned up the throttle and smoothly rode away on his scooter.
The bald guy was dumbfounded, then enraged. He initially wanted to chase them down with his car, but found it was too late, hurriedly getting out to pick up the badge, his once straightened back now hunched.
"I’m going to call the police, I definitely will!" The bald guy was so angry his blood pressure spiked and his liver ached.
He had never seen someone so brazen!
A little farther away, Xue Yuantong said, "Weiwei, didn’t I say right? He’s a high-level GTA player."
Shang Caiwei: "..."
She recalled another time riding with Jiang Ning when he casually collided with a child darting across the road and swiftly rode away.
’The road privileges are too high...’ Shang Caiwei felt uneasy.
After five minutes of riding, they finally stopped in front of the ’Boundless Fighting’ sign.
Xue Yuantong expressed shock, "Weiwei, do you do boxing?"
Shang Caiwei felt embarrassed, "My brother is inside; I’m going to ask him to take me home."
"Alright then."
Xue Yuantong, who was a poor little kid, had never been to a martial arts club and was curious, glancing around with interest.
Shang Caiwei noticed and, realizing they had given her a ride, finally worked up the courage: "Xue Yuantong, Jiang Ning, I have training cards, let me treat you guys."
Xue Yuantong politely said, "That’s really too kind of you."
Shang Caiwei mustered more courage, "Although it’s a fighting club, they make a kind of steak burger here that’s especially delicious, fresher and tastier than KFC. Let me treat you."
Xue Yuantong placed his hands behind his back, "Alright, we’ll reluctantly take a look around, not just for the burgers or anything."
